Reader George's response was 'lost' in the internet ethers. RMN's apologizes for that ..
Aside from the world bank role that was played in this war..
Hitler was a bit gnostic in his beliefs. He didn't think of the jews as a root race (which the Jews did) According to him, the goal of the Jews was the domination of the world, a task that could be achieved by the poisoning of Aryan (white) blood. Hitler contended that the Jews used a variety of methods to accomplish this task. The most blatant was miscegenation, accomplished by "rape" of Aryan girls and the importation of Blacks into Germany in order to further destroy Aryan purity and carry out this kind of "disarming" of the spiritually leading class "of his racial adversaries."...

'...The Nazis felt they were instruments of god to enforce god?s will on others...'
Now, where in the world did George Eaton get (this information) to make this statement? Did he study National Socialism philosophy? Was he a member of the Hitler Youth Corp? What are his credentials in the Nazi philosophy? And, what was this God's will they wanted to enforce?

Answer:
Yes, I did study Nazi philosophies and met several people that were there in Germany during the war. There were several religious movements in Germany at the time. Some were into the Nordic gods, like Odin and Thor, but the majority of Germans were Christians. The pope at the time was quoted as saying that Hitler is "the defender of the faith".
Hitler's personal photographer was around Hitler a lot of the time, in his travels, speeches, rallies and on the front lines. His name was Henrich Hoffmann(if memory serves me correctly), he wrote a book called "I was Hitler's friend". He was not a Nazi party member, and was able to describe Hitler from a different perspective. He called him overly dogmatic on issues and reactionary - which led to his demise. For instance, in the mountains at a ski resort he saw as a man that fell and broke both his knees while skiing. And Hitler shouted out that they should outlaw skiing!
The photographer said that he heard the people around Hitler say that god was defending Hitler so much that he got sick of hearing it. He would also go to the front lines where there were bombs going off and escaped being hit many times. Once when Hitler was leaving a catholic church there was a cross behind Hitler's head on the church wall, and the man took a photo of it, which appeared that the cross was above Hitler's head. It was spread all over Germany as a sign that god was with Hitler. I saw the photo in the book. Words like "great prophet" and "leader" and even the 'savior' of the Aryan race and Germany were common throughout Germany and Europe at that time.
I also met a man that was living and working in Germany during the war. He worked in the lead mines, that were used for bullets. He told me that he never spoke of this openly, but that it was the Catholic church that promoted Hitler and allowed him to rise in power. I have also met a man that was in the Hitler youth, and had meals with Hitler in a group.
One of the most telling meeting I had was with a lady that was in Berlin in WW2. She was with her mother during the war. The Nazi officers came to the schools and other meeting places and told the people gathered that they were going to win the war by shear numbers. That when the Russian tanks came into the city that they would all go into the streets and lay down on the streets to stop the tanks. This horrified the mother and girl. This was an example of the Nazi extremism. Fortunately that is not what they did but instead hid out and survived the Russians until the Americans came into the city. Hitler was a dynamic, charismatic speaker, he told the people what they wanted to hear. He was a demagogue - one that utilizes the bias or prejudices of a group for his own ends. He spoke like an evangelists, and many times he would end his speeches in a prayer and say "Amen" at the end. I listened to many of his speeches in German and heard the translations. I recognized the connection to religion because my dad was a minister and so is my older brother. When you blend politics with religion it makes a powerful and persuasive argument to sway the people. It is beyond words, it involves the emotions people have inside them. Once those emotions are tapped into, along with the philosophies - it flips a switch in a person that makes them willing to give their lives for that cause.
Knowing how men can sway an audience when it comes to political speeches I listen to them with guarded ears. Speeches or music can be like a drug that alters our perception creating a hypnotic, mesmerizing state of mind. Once Trump became president I stopped listening to his speeches. The reason being that I was no longer interested in listening to words, but want to see his actions. Now more than ever, it is not words that matter but deeds. If a person always focuses on the speeches they can become beguiled and deceived, and the mind starts making excuses for the person, because they sound so good. This is how Jim Jones was able to control his flock until the end. He set up speakers throughout the camp, and continued talking to them as they took the Kool-Aid. They never had a chance to think their own thoughts or to question what was going on.
Please keep in mind it was very difficult for me to look at Trump from a different perspective. I was an avid supporter of Trump. But once he became president and started picking CFR members and neo cons that were connected to the military industrial complex I was alarmed. I let it go for a few weeks, hoping he would improve, but it only got worse. I also found a video of all is contradictory positions where he was once a democrat and had switched all of his beliefs form liking Hillary to disliking her, etc.(I will look for it and post it) .
Trump created a new "persona" to run for president on the Republican ticket. Once he was president then he followed the neo con lines in lock step. Keep in mind I don't agree with those ultra liberals that oppose Trump, they are even worse.
